Fishes are by far the most species-rich vertebrate taxon, and it is
also the vertebrate group with the most strikingly diverse
repertoire of behaviours and behavioural adaptations. As such, they
provide us with many opportunities to explore the fascinating
complexities of animal behaviour. Central questions addressed in
this book include: How do sensory input, hormones, genetics and
experience interact to shape individual behaviour? What should a
fish do to be in the right place at the right time and how should
it behave to be an efficient predator yet not become the subject of
predation itself? How to find a mate or to find the best mate?
Should all fish do the same, or is the optimal behaviour dependent
on individual characteristics? How does reproductive behaviour
affect what fish look like, in terms of colour, body form or body
size? And how do fish cope with their complex social and biological
environment, including parasites, competitors and collaborators?
This new book provides an exciting overview of the many new
insights offered by recent research on fish behaviour. The chapters
are written by prominent international scientists and are aimed not
only at fish biology students and researchers but anyone interested
in the interplay between behaviour, ecology and evolution.
